Birthing Your Dream

Are you ready to birth a dream and not sure about the process, wondering if you are stepping out too far this time? Will God bless your dream, or is it His dream you’re nurturing? Consider a pregnant woman. We’ve all had opportunity to observe the process, if not actually experience it.

A pregnant woman knows that the dream growing inside her will come into the world according to the established birth process and unless an interruption interferes with the process, it will occur. She needn’t understand or aid the process in any way until the very end, when the process will urgently prompt her participation! Her part is to provide the right internal atmosphere for growth and, as the time approaches, to set the stage, preparing the external atmosphere for the arrival. How does this process unfold and what is the mother’s role?

1. Conception - Shortly after conception a woman begins to notice changes, subtle at first, becoming more pronounced with time. She knows her course has changed, though she sees nothing and her routine is barely altered. Her vision expands with the knowledge of what is barely perceptible.

2. Growth - Internal changes occur from the first, though no one is aware of anything but a change in demeanor, a rosier complexion, a faraway look. She knows without seeing - faith appears.

3. Naming - At some point, before birth in most cases, the dream is named and the name is tried on for size. Named for what the dream represents - - still nothing is visible. Knowing a name is intended to relate characteristics of the individual, the parents of this dream use their faith to call this dream according to what they want it to become. They are “calling things that be not (seen) as though they are (seen).” (Romans 4:17)

4. Birth - As the process of transferring the dream into the world begins, the mother may be uncertain how a dream of this size can ever manifest itself! Though weary, and often discouraged at the length of time and energy required, she knows it will happen, though she may be uncertain of her ability to endure.

This is where we often give up. In the natural world, the process will occur regardless of the mother’s fatigue or misgivings, though she may require assistance and encouragement at this point. This same point is when spiritual “dream birthers” often require assistance, coaching, to remain diligent and on track.

Unlike the natural birth process, the birth of a dream can he halted at this point, if you don’t stay encouraged in the promises of God, and surround yourself with people who understand dream birthing, who will coach you and challenge you to press on.

At no point, once the dream has begun to rearrange the mother’s life, expanding her body and her vision, changing her appetites and her needs, does she say “what if it isn’t real? What if there’s really nothing to it at all?” Absurd, but often we do just that with the dreams we carry. Rather than nurture, we question. What if this wasn’t God’s idea after all? What if this was conceived of my own imagination?

God is the God of process, and the natural world’s processes mirror those of the spiritual world. The Bible tells us in Romans 12:2, that we have three options, the good will of God, the acceptable will of God and the perfect will of God.

1. Perfect Will of God - The dream is totally God’s idea - - His perfect will.

2. Acceptable Will of God - It’s a “God-approved” idea.

3. Good Will of God - It’s your idea, not necessarily God’s best for you and perhaps you really haven’t sought Him earnestly concerning it. In your heart, however, and in your life you desire to honor Him.

Will He bless all three? Almost certainly, if you are operating under Godly principles, if your character is strong, and your integrity is at the forefront. But there’s one more possibility…

4. Contrary to God’s Will - This is NOT God’s will - what then is it? Sin, sickness, disease, sorrow, grief, etc. are all contrary to God’s will. If you’ve conceived your dream based on these, you’re surely not concerned with God’s desires.

Congratulations! What do you do now? Make room for it; make provision for it; nurture it by staying in close contact with the Father through prayer and time in the Word, renewing your mind to His perfect will. Commit it to Him - - after all, He is the author of the process. Study the following scriptures and be encouraged, knowing He has spoken to you about your dream: Psalm 37:4, 5; Isaiah 46:11b; Isaiah 54:2,3; Ephesians 3:20,21.

Be Successful with Forex Software

So, you have determined that you are curious about the globe of forex trading. Now, all you need to do is learn which is the best forex strategy possible. My advice to you is to give yourself plenty of time to do some research to find the best forex method.

If you have decided that you want to break into the forex world, there are a few matters you will unquestionably want to weigh first. If you are serious about your decision and you truly desire to learn forex, then you need to take a few steps.

As a child, my father had this saying, “You know, there’s more than one way to skin a cat.” What he meant would take me a while to figure out. But now I get it; especially since I make the better part of my living doing forex online. So what is this forex you speak of? Well, in short, online forex is the method of controlling your foreign exchange currency, or forex, account on autopilot.

There are numerous ways that you can educate yourself about automated forex. One way is to have a coach of sorts. If you know someone who is experienced in online forex, then you may want to ask them if they would be willing and able to help you learn automated forex. If having a private instructor is not an option for you, then you will want to either buy or download a tutorial, or open a practice account and start out practicing trading in a simulated forex trading market.

You're sick and you MUST work!

What do you do when you work from home (your own business) and you come down with the flu? Is there a number you can call and let them know that you’re sick and cannot come in today? If only!

Since Saturday I’ve been hit by one of those dreaded winter flu’s (mind you this winter marks the very first time I ever got the flu vaccine). Feverish, headache, entire body hurts and my throat is soar.. the flu! It takes everything out of me to get out of bed today to ensure the websites I do support for are fully functional and all customers are happy. This means replying to tons of emails and support tickets.

Here’s a tip… create as many short cuts as you can that will not only save you time, but will help you when you get the flu and cannot function at 100%. In my Eudora (email program) I’ve set up responses for all of the common questions I receive. But a canned response can be spotted and many customers hate them. Be sure to personalize the canned response, so start your reply with Hello , and simply place the persons name in the field when responding. This will allow you to respond to a customer or client in the time it takes to type their name.

Here is an example of a canned response I use…

Hello

Thank you for taking the time to contact us with your concern.

Step 1 - Place the Cd into your cd drive on your computer.

Step 2 - Open your text editor ( MS Word, Works, Note pad, Word Pad or MS Excel)

Step 3 - Click on “File” (top right) .. then “open”

Step 4. You should see the option to choose which file you want to open. In the area marked”Look In” choose the drive that your cd was placed in. Once you have the source chosenthe list of files with the leads should appear.

Step 5. Choose the file you want to open and hit “open”.Note : If you use MS excel to open the file, it will automatically open in a spreadsheet format.Note : Depending on the version of operating system you have installed on your computer the disc will automatically open after you load it into your cd drive.

Best Regards

===========================================

I have this saved as a stationery file within my Eudora, so all I do is hit “reply with” and edit the name field. It’s that simple.

Create as many short cuts as you can, remember we can’t call in sick!

regards

Chris….

Birth Control Pill for Acne

There are quite a few prescription medications used to combat acne, but one of the most frequent choices for women is the use of a birth control pill for acne. This approach can be used with teenagers as well as adult women, but if you’re a guy, you are out of luck. Using the birth control pill for acne on a man is a recipe for disaster. The female hormones would wreak havoc on a man’s system.

For women though, the birth control pill for acne can be a minor miracle. And if your acne is severe enough to require use of the most dangerous acne drug, birth control is an absolute necessity. You will not be able to take the risky drug without also using the birth control pill for acne.

Why does using the birth control pill for acne work?

Teen girls and women often experience outbreaks of acne just before their menstrual periods. This is especially true with teens because their hormones are often surging out of whack and haven’t settled into a more even production yet. The birth control pill for acne works by evening out those hormonal surges. When a woman’s hormones are regulated by using the birth control pill for acne, they often find the breakouts lessen in both frequency and severity.

Is taking birth control pills for acne right for you?

The hormones estrogen, progestin and testosterone can be wildly unstable in the first few years after a girl enters puberty. The fluctuating levels of these hormones can really irritate the acne nearly all teens are prone to suffer. For girls experiencing moderate or worse breakouts, and the embarrassment that comes with them, using birth control pills for acne can be a miracle. Not only do their systems calm down, the breakouts become milder. Adult women often appreciate the clearer skin that comes with the pill, even though they weren’t using birth control pills for acne in the first place.

If you are suffering severe acne problems, your doctor may choose to put you on very effective medication called isotretinoin. This drug, sold under the name Accutane, is very powerful, highly effective and absolutely not to be used during pregnancy. This is where birth control pills for acne are most often prescribed.

Accutane can cause such damage to a fetus that if a doctor prescribes it for you, he is required by law to make sure you have two negative pregnancy tests no more than a week before you start taking the drug. You have to be using birth control, so most doctors prescribe birth control pills for acne as well, and you must have a negative pregnancy test before each month’s refill of Accutane.

These regulations have been in place for some time, but because pregnancies while on isotretinoin are still happening, new federal regulations have been added. If you take the drug, you are required to sign into a national database so doctors, pharmacists and the government can track users of the drug and make sure all the anti-pregnancy precautions are being taken, including birth control pills for acne and a second form of birth control.

What are the side effects to taking birth control pills for acne?

If your doctor prescribes birth control pills for acne and you take the correct dosage, using the medication according to instructions, then the side effects are very minimal.

The standard but generally low risks of birth control pills for acne or other uses include weight gain, nausea, irregular or breakthrough (during the month) bleeding. In very rare cases, this medication can cause problems with blood pressure, blood clots and perhaps even heart attacks or strokes.

One important thing to know about taking birth control pills for acne is that if your doctor also prescribes antibiotics, and you’re using the pill for pregnancy protection as well, you’ll want to add a backup method of birth control. The birth control pill for acne will still help manage your skin, but can fail to protect you from pregnancy while you’re also on antibiotics.

Bifocal Contact Lenses - Tell Me More

As we get older our eye can suffer from Presbyopia, this can occur when our eyes are unable to focus incoming light due to the loss and flexibility in our eye muscles. The unfortunate result is that trying to read close-up such as reading a book or newspaper or even trying to use computer screens can become blurred.

Bifocal contact lenses add an extra layer of near vision correction to the actually lens give you the power to focus and see object’s close-up. There is usually a far-vision layer also.

There are three different types of bifocal contact lens designs.

  1. Alternating
  2. Concentric
  3. Simultaneous

In Alternating or translating bifocal lenses, the near and far connective layers of the lens are distinct from each other. The near correction layer is usually placed at the bottom of the lens but if needed can be reversed. The intermediate layer can also be added and changed.

In concentric bifocal lenses the near and far layers are arranged in rings, the near vision is in the centre and the far vision layer on the outer ring. If you have small pupils this arrangement can be reversed this would put the far vision layer in the centre and near vision on the outer ring.

In Simultaneous bifocal lenses both layers are in the centre of the lens, this may seem strange but your eyes learn to adapt to each correction layer. This of course may take a little time but you’re eye care specialist can advice more on this.

Some people may find it difficult to get used to bifocal contact lenses, if you have adapted to bifocal, trifocal, or progressive eyeglass lenses, you’ll already understand the basics of using translating bifocal contact lenses, in which the distance zone is straight ahead and above center, while the reading zone is lower. With simultaneous designs, your eyes will learn to focus near or far as needed. Whatever your particular lenses design, your eye-care specialised will make sure you understand how to use it.

Bifocal contact lenses come in soft and rigid gas permeable (RGP). In general soft contact lenses can become cloudy with protein deposits over time, they have also been known to be easy to tear.

Gas permeable contact lenses are more durable and made from a stronger plastic that stays clearer over time. When you have RGP bifocals they last longer but you may need new ones only when your presbyopia progresses so that you need a stronger near vision prescription.

Bi curiously pushing the right “Button”

Ladies! Yes, we were all born with the same anatomy. And yes, we fully know how to give ourselves pleasure by exploring our erogenous zones. But, do we know the proper techniques needed to pleasure another woman orally? We have all heard it said that it takes a woman to fully pleasure another woman because she knows what she wants and what is pleasurable. Allow me to say that every woman requires a certain technique to push her over the edge and onto the wings of an ultimate orgasm. This must be learned individually. Knowing what we want and what pleasures us does not give us the techniques needed to perform them.
Allow me to share with you what I have learned. First, let’s remember that the little “button”, the clit, comes in different sizes. Some are smaller, some are larger but thank God, they are all located in the same place. My first experience left me thinking, “Geeezzz, how in the world do guys find such a small piece of flesh in the dark” Remember, her clit may feel differently from yours and besides, you have never felt this with your tongue before. I have discovered that the best way to start is to place your tongue at the entrance of her vagina and lick your way up slowly. Lightly suck and pull on each side of her labia, her lips. This will increase the blood flow, her lips will swell and her arousal will be heightened. continue licking upward until your tongue reaches her clit. At this point it should be swollen and erect, peeking out of it’s hood. With the tip of your taunt tongue, lick counter clockwise all the way around her clit. Counter clockwise is key here, I have no clue why but trust me, it is. As you continue to lick around her clit, try to place the tip of your tongue just inside her hood and continue licking counter clockwise. Notice her reaction and remember that we enjoy constant stimulation to our clit so if it’s working continue until she orgasms.
I have found this to be a good starting point. As you become more confident, add other techniques for added pleasure. Practice makes perfect so if you can’t seem to “take her to the heavens” the first time, no worries, it may not be you or your technique. Simply look forward to the next encounter.

Low Rate Car Insurance - Two Ways To Get It

Did you know that one of the easiest ways to ensure low rate car insurance
for yourself is to drive a vehicle that is both safe and considered
“low-profile”? It’s true. You’re more likely to get low rate car insurance on a minivan that you are a flashy sports car or SUV.

If you choose a safe vehicle, not only are you better protecting yourself and
passengers, but you’re also protecting the vehicle itself. Insurance companies
will look at how much it’s going to cost to repair your vehicle in the event of
an accident, as well as how safe you and your passengers are going to be inside
the vehicle in the event of an accident. Insurance companies are going to look
at statistics such as crash test ratings and features such as air bags for both
drivers and passengers, so you should research them as well when you head out to
purchase your next vehicle.

Also, if you choose a “low-profile” vehicle, it’s less likely to be burglarized,
vandalized, and/or stolen. This is especially true for people who already live
in areas that are considered “high crime” areas; that is, areas where a lot of
crime, including auto-related crimes, occurs. Insurance companies can find
information about particular vehicles by checking out the National Insurance
Crime Bureau (NICB) and the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI). These
organizations keep track of vehicles that are most often burglarized,
vandalized, and/or stolen.

So, the next time you set out to purchase a new, or even used, vehicle, do some
research. Find out how safe the car is and how well it will hold up to
collisions or other auto-related accidents by checking out the crash test
ratings and safety components of the vehicle. Also find out whether or not the
vehicle you have in mind is at a high risk for being burglarized, vandalized,
and/or stolen. These factors will help you get low rate car insurance.

Cancer of the Mesothelium a Uncommon Cancer

Malignant mesothelioma is a rare cancer of the tissue that lines the body’s inside organs. Around two thousand new instances are diagnosed each year in the whole US. Out of these, about75 percent of occurrences concern the sac around the lungs, called the pleura. This type of cancer is called pleural mesothelioma. In about 10 to twenty percent of occurrences, mesothelioma may concern the tissue that encompasses abdomen organs, referred to as the peritoneal membrane, generating what is then acknowledged as peritoneal mesothelioma.

Introduction to asbestos is absolutely the main cause for this rare sickness. Following asbestos exposure, the time period to progression of the mesothelioma disease may be twenty to forty years. Because of work exposure, malignant mesothelioma is almost 3 times more likely in men, than in females. Because the number of occurrences goes up with your age, there are around ten times more instances in the males more than age 64 than in the men in their midlife.

Having Cancer of the mesothelium is a weighty sickness, which, at the moment, has a very poor percentage of overall survival. On the other hand, if it is pinpointed soon, treatments are then at hand that can significantly lengthen the patient’s life. New therapies continue to be and are being promoted through clinical trials.
